buildings and objects that have cultural heritage value to Opunake. This document is an information resource recognising and providing information on the identified buildings and objects. Methodology The Opunake Heritage Working Party was established to help prepare an initial list for consideration and to provide detailed local knowledge. The Opunake Heritage Working Party was made up of: Olive Armstrong Ian Stevenson Ann Murdoch Molly Harvey Merle Bakewell Dudley Morris John Norton Murray Dobin Chris Craig Others who assisted were: 1. Chris Cochran, Conservation Architect of Wellington who provided specialist advice (including completion of the evaluations) and inspiration throughout the process. 2. Bronwyn Allerby, Policy Planner at South Taranaki District Council, who began the process for Kaponga, Manaia, Opunake, Outer Hawera, Patea, Waverley, and continued with the Eltham process. 3. Tracey Coles, Policy Planner at South Taranaki District Council, who continued with the process to its completion; and 4. Carolyn Vercoe, a student from Waikato University who carried out research during the 1998- 99 summer holiday period. An initial list of buildings and objects was prepared for this inventory. Research was then carried out by the Opunake Heritage Working Party. The list was progressively reduced as evaluation established whether or not the building/object met the criteria for inclusion. This criteria is explained in the following section Criteria for Selection and Assessment. This inventory was amended and reprinted in June 2003 as a result of the review of the set of heritage inventories. New information and amendments may have been added to existing entries, and new buildings and objects may have been added to this document. Study Area The study area includes the township of Opunake. Criteria for Selection and Assessment Account has been taken whilst compiling the inventory of the need to be as representative as possible of all aspects of the history of the area, of all buildings and object types, and of all periods from first settlement up to the present day. The Historic Places Act 1993, section 23, lists 13 criteria for the assessment of historic places, and although these are not individually listed here, they are all (in slightly modified form) included in the criteria listed below. 3 Buildings and objects of cultural heritage value have been selected for inclusion (with expert assistance from Chris Cochran, Conservation Architect) in the inventory on the basis of the following criteria: Historic Whether the building reflects aspects of New Zealand or local history, and in respect to local history, whether it illustrates any of the themes of the development of the town, such as settlement
